This is why Srila Prabhupada insisted on holding classes (besides kirtan) on the Vaisnava philosophy-so that we can understand WHO is this Person called—- Krsna
So anybody who is lazy in the matter of daily reading/hearing the books, is going to have a harder time understanding properly the Supreme Lord. And consequently, he or she will have many things to divert his attention to besides serving the Lord. “Mano dharma” (asat dharma)- means I think this or that is more important, than associating regularly with the Lords devotees,and reading daily the books !

Dont be lazy to discuss siddhanta
Allahabad jan 15 1977–
And to pin our staunch faith in Viṣṇu, we should discuss about Viṣṇu-tattva and not Viṣṇu-tattva (?). That is called siddhānta. Siddhānta boliyā citte nā kara alasa: “Don’t be lazy to discuss about siddhānta.” Ihā haite kṛṣṇe lāge sudṛḍha mānasa: “The more you discuss the thesis—not thesis; the factual presentation of Viṣṇu-tattva, māyā, and jīva-tattva, śakti-tattva—then it will be clear what is Kṛṣṇa.” Kṛṣṇa is the origin of everything. Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate [Bg. 10.8]. We should try to understand this fact, that Kṛṣṇa is the origin of everything, and if we take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness… Kṛṣṇe bhakti kaile sarva-karma kṛta haya. If you become Kṛṣṇa conscious, then your all other duties automatically… The same example, as we have given: If you pour water on the root of the tree, then all other duties are automatically done. There is no question of separate attempt-philanthropy, philosophy and nationalism, this “ism,” that “ism.” We have discovered so many things and diversion of the real duty. That we shall have to concentrate. That is siddhānta.
siddhānta boliyā citte nā kara alasa
iha haite kṛṣṇe lāge sudṛḍha mānasa
We become more and more faithful to Kṛṣṇa by understanding the siddhānta.
